HOW THEY FlXEDIT.
Bernhard and Augusta WOLF Find a
NesV Way ont Of the Old Chestnut
domestic EufeIiCity.,'


On the third of March a young Ger man
woman, the wife of Bernhard Wolf, 16S
Custer street, went to the police court and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of her
spouse for beating her. Wolf had his trial
and was required by Judge Cory to sign
a bond for 5000 to keep the peace. Little
Mrs Wolf and big Mr.. Wolf went out of
the court room together, and it looked as
if the family row was over. Human ma
ture and whisky were too strong for Bern
hard. and a few days ago he fell to abuS
inc her again. The little woman told her
tale to meudleSome neghb0rs, and the
neighbOTS urged her 10 have him arrested.
She talked it over with her husband when
he grew nilder, and they finally agreed
upon a plan which is designed as a safe
guard against all future difficulties. Yes
terday the twain appeared again in the
police court together, and dictated the
terms of the following stipulation, which
Clerk Ahern drew up in red ink;
ST. PAUL. March 10, ISL Bernhard Wolf.
hereby agree to provide my wife, Augusta
Wolf, with all the neceSSarieS OF life, and also
10 provide for our two children until the
youngest one arrives at the age of one year.
I also agree TO pay rent of rooms occupied by
my wife, Augusta Wolf, during the existence
of this agreement.
In consideration of the above I, Augusta
Wolf, agree to provide my husband, Bernhard
wolf, with day board, washing, etc., upon
express understanding that he does not re-
main in rooms occupied by me after sunset
OF any day. All bills contracted for the
maintenance of said rooms To be liquidated
by said Bernhard Wolf.
Pursuant TO the above we hereby subscribe
our Names BERNARD WOLF,
AUGUSTA WOLF
Thus they have agreed that they cannot
agree, and it is understood that when the
youngest of their two children, who is now
5-mOnths old. reaches the age of l year,
Augusta shall apply for divorce from her
quarrelsome husband. There is no patent to
this plan of settling family difficulties, but
they both though it was good scheme,
bowed a cold good morning to each other
and went out Singly.

appearance. The grand stand is about
completed, but work has not vet been COM
mehced on the fence. Yesterday afternoon
one team and wagon were to be seen upon
the grounds, and two men were busy dis
tributing fence boards. Besides this, no
signs OF activity were visible about the
grounds. From the general appearance OF
the place ii looked very much as though 1t
would be necessary to dig bitches i'll order
to drain the grounds of the four or five
inches of water under which they are now
lying.

Temperance hotel and European restaurant,
10S East Third street. yesterday filed papers
in the district court making an assignment
to George W. Elwell. of $50 Broadway. for
the benefit of his creditors. No inventory

s. 900. The liabilities may slightly eX-
ceed that amount. The hotel has been
closed, and Mr.. Elwell, the assignee will
take charge at once and auction the prop
erty off. Lack of patronage, caused by
heavy competition in that part of the city,

minor officers are to be chosen. At a
meeting OF the council, held recently. A.
Croft was elected town clerk, AS vet the
council mas not had i'll its possession a Ger
tilted copy Of the city charter, and until
this could be procured it was not deemed
advisable to go ahead in the work of form

prominently mentioned i'll connection with

the council To make the cost of maintaining
the city government as low as possible dur
ing the first year School houses are among
the most urgent needs of the new town
and immediate action will be taken for the
erection of a modest building to be used for
school purposes in the Third ward of the
new town. South st. Paul has popula-
ton of over 5000 people.
THEY WANT PROTECTION.
Much complaint is heard on account of
the failure Of the Minnesota & Northwest
ern road to furnish better protection at the
street crossings on the West side. and par
iicularly at the crossings on Fairfield and
Chicago avenues. From the fact that a
curve in the track prevents any one passing
along the avenue from seeing approaching
trains until they reach the crossing, makes
passing over the tracks on Chicago avenue
particularly hazardous. There is fiagman
at the Fairfield crossing, but none on CHI
cago avenue, and West St. Paul residents
complain that the man on Fairfield avenue
doesn't exercise proper diliganee in warn
ing paSsers-by of the approach of trains
The motor trains run past the avenues
every twenty minutes, and regular pas
senger and freight trains are passing con-
ainually. The council recently took action
upon the matter, but the people of the
West side complain that the company does
not appear TO be in any hurry to comply
with the order OF the council. that gates be
placed at the hICago and Fairfield avenue
